Leeds Hotels and Venues Association (LHVA) is a membership led, not-for-profit organisation dedicated to supporting members to attract business and leisure tourism to the region. LHVA provides unique and interesting networking opportunities, works alongside local authorities and educational institutes to offer training and development for members and their teams and facilitates collaborative partnerships with key organisations to attract large-scale events.

The aim of the Association is to provide support for members; for the city and to promote hospitality as a career of choice.

Membership Benefits:

  • Regular networking opportunities for members to meet with one another and discuss current issues, business topics and the commercial climate across the region.
  • A sounding board to lobby key opinions on subjects of concern.
  • Networking opportunities with key city region stakeholders including LEP, Leeds City Council, Conference Leeds, Leeds BID and many more.
  • Joint power to source discounted rates for business tourism events, industry exposure events and exhibitions and training workshops.
  • Working closely with educational institutes to change the perception of hospitality as a career of choice and tackle issues within recruitment.

Present to the Association

With a schedule of General Managers, Sales Managers and HR Managers meetings taking place throughout the membership year, we are always looking for innovative speakers to present at LHVA meetings. We are committed to making our meetings informative, valuable and interesting. It is for this reason that we would like to emphasise that this is not a sales pitch opportunity and only for those who genuinely want to impart sector-specific knowledge to this influential group.

Past speakers include:

  • Online Travel Agents

  • Employment Law Specialists

  • Energy Cost-Saving Businesses

  • Local Government
